“// That’s what happens to boys like me.” Like Edgar Kunz’s narrator in Fixer, Pope brings his narrator’s range of jobs to the forefront, but in his staggering title-producing poem, “On the Various Disciplines of Losers,” Pope directly and deftly interrogates the tie between labor and class and agency, of ways of protecting and developing a self: “I developed the economic theory / of identity invisibility” wondering “Can two men fit inside / a single body?” The speaker asks, “Locked into a daily routine / that you did not choose, for example, at what point / do you claim yourself, do you feel condemned?” A Bowl of Goodness: Nourishing Poems with a Side of Soup Abigail Chabitnoy Colin Pope Jay Gao losers Love Like a Body Carried to Shore Major Jackson Malgorzata Lebda Mark Anthony Cayanan Mark Kyungsoo Bias Mer de Glace Minor Destructions Miracle Fever November poetry reading list Rebecca Morgan Frank The Dead One The Unconscious One Thriving Slumber Thundering in Your Ear Rebecca Morgan Frank Rebecca Morgan Frank's fourth collection of poems is Oh You Robot Saints!”
“Abigail Chabitnoy, Love Like a Body Carried to Shore (Wesleyan University Press) “Isn’t this what the poem does :: what singing?”
“You pass shepherds on the train, a cadre of bridge translators / Why are you here .” Perhaps this book’s poetics are caught in what follows: “Translating, in the last minute, an infinite poem you remember only inside this train carriage .”
“The cypress trees are caught fumigating their storage units”—and are caught embedded in twists of idioms “sleeping like a stone.” Gao’s riffing and gasping and gapings accumulate into a poetic questioning, caught by the address to a “you” “travelling to a conference concerning the pastoral.”
“/ Waiting for deployment, as if words / weren’t already waging war on his mind.” Amidst glass, mirrors, light, “[s]hadows rally everywhere,” and the narrator’s own adoption story radiates through the collection, for “To be born, like a pistil, into something you will lose.”
“I keep thinking of Rosenthal’s translation notes for the collection, in which she begins with a long list of words and phrases that move from “Bright” and “Brilliant” through “Obvious” to “Of Course!” and “Sure Thing!” Words, Rosenthal tells us, “I hoped would come in handy whenever I came across the word ‘jasne’, for which all the above could be possible translations, depending on context….” She continues, “You see, the way Lebda uses it, the neuter adjective takes on the feel of an abstract noun that imbues the poems with a kind of life force related to brightness, radiance, clarity, and luminosity, carrying with it a sense of attentiveness and care.” How fitting, such granular attention and such vastness as we move past autumn towards the longest night of the year, finding light everywhere in these collections, a luminosity caught, yes, by sun and streetlights but also, mirrors, both glass skulls (Bias) and glass heads (Chabitnoy), and shadows, and in trees– “White aspens blink and flare vividly” (Gao), and humans– “How I flickered at hearing your faint voices: I am beginning to dream of spring (Bias).”

“/ If I can bear it, I will see both my mothers drift away.” Loss also takes the form of dismantled ideals: he discovers of his birth father that “traffic violation” means “arrested for sex trafficking,” reflecting, “Before then, I used to imagine, / my father dying in pieces, longing in a cell for / his wife’s face.”
